Do I have to keep paying child support if my child is taking an extra year of high school because of lack of attendance?

Jun 02, 2010

Question:Cordell & Cordell attorney Andrea Miller

My daughter turns 18 in July and I pay child support. I just discovered that because she missed so many days of school, she will not have enough credits to graduate. Do I have to continue to pay child support if she has to take an extra year of high school because she was held back in school for simply not going enough?

Ask a Lawyer: Attending out-of-state proceedings

Nov 29, 1999

Question:

I was served an "Original Petition for Divorce" and returned "A Written Reponse to the Original Petition for Divorce" to the Bexar County Courthouse. Included in that written response was a settlement agreement. I live in San Diego and am corresponding with the plaintiff's attorney and the court. I received yesterday a filed stamped copy of the Motion to set on the Non-Jury Docket. The hearing is set for January 26, 2006 at 9:00 A.M., in the Presiding District Court. Remembering that I do not live in the state and have been corresponding, what are my options to this motion and am I compelled to attend? If I am not in attendance may the court stipulate to settlement, child support, visitation matters? Or is the hearing limited to setting a date?

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Texas. I would never advise you not to appear to a matter that you are uncertain as to the proceeding. I advise you call the Court's clerk and inquire what is set. If you do not appear then your wife can ask the Court to enter a default Judgment against you (assuming you have been served).
